April 26th (Day 116) Bible Reading

Jdg 6:1
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the
LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

Jdg 6:2 And the
hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites
the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains,
and caves, and strong holds.

Jdg 6:3 And so
it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites,
and the children of the east, even they came up against them;

Jdg 6:4 And they
encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come
unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.

Jdg 6:5 For they
came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for
multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they
entered into the land to destroy it.

Jdg 6:6 And Israel
was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel
cried unto the LORD.

Jdg 6:7 And it
came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the
Midianites,

Jdg 6:8 That the
LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus
saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you
forth out of the house of bondage;

Jdg 6:9 And I
delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that
oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;

Jdg 6:10 And I
said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

Jdg 6:11 And there
came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah,
that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed
wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

Jdg 6:12 And the
angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with
thee, thou mighty man of valour.

Jdg 6:13 And
Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this
befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of,
saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken
us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

Jdg 6:14 And the
LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save
Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

Jdg 6:15 And he
said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is
poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

Jdg 6:16 And the
LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the
Midianites as one man.

Jdg 6:17 And he
said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that
thou talkest with me.

Jdg 6:18 Depart
not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and
set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.

Jdg 6:19 And
Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of
flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought
it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

Jdg 6:20 And the
angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them
upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

Jdg 6:21 Then the
angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand,
and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of
the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of
the LORD departed out of his sight.

Jdg 6:22 And when
Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O
Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

Jdg 6:24 Then
Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto
this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

Jdg 6:25 And it
came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's
young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the
altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by
it:

Jdg 6:26 And build
an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place,
and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the
grove which thou shalt cut down.

Jdg 6:27 Then
Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and
so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the
city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

Jdg 6:28 And when
the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was
cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second
bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

Jdg 6:29 And they
said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and
asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

Jdg 6:30 Then the
men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he
hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was
by it.

Jdg 6:31 And Joash
said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him?
he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet
morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one
hath cast down his altar.

Jdg 6:32 Therefore
on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him,
because he hath thrown down his altar.

Jdg 6:33 Then all
the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered
together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.

Jdg 6:34 But the
Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was
gathered after him.

Jdg 6:35 And he
sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and
he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they
came up to meet them.

Jdg 6:37 Behold, I
will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece
only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know
that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

Jdg 6:38 And it
was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and
wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

Jdg 6:39 And
Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak
but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it
now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

Jdg 6:40 And God
did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on
all the ground.

Luk 22:54 Then
took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's
house. And Peter followed afar off.

Luk 22:55 And when
they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together,
Peter sat down among them.

Luk 22:56 But a
certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him,
and said, This man was also with him.

Luk 22:57 And he
denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

Luk 22:58 And
after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And
Peter said, Man, I am not.

Luk 22:59 And
about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a
truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.

Luk 22:60 And
Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet
spake, the cock crew.

Luk 22:61 And the
Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord,
how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

Luk 22:62 And
Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

Luk 22:63 And the
men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

Luk 22:64 And when
they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying,
Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

Luk 22:65 And many
other things blasphemously spake they against him.

Luk 22:66 And as
soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the
scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,

Luk 22:67 Art thou
the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:

Luk 22:68 And if I
also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

Luk 22:69 Hereafter
shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

Luk 22:70 Then
said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that
I am.

Luk 22:71 And they
said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own
mouth.

Luk 23:1
And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

Luk 23:2 And they
began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a
King.

Luk 23:3 And
Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him
and said, Thou sayest it.

Luk 23:4 Then said
Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this
man.

Luk 23:5 And they
were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout
all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

Luk 23:6 When
Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

Luk 23:7 And as
soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to
Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

Luk 23:8 And when
Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a
long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to
have seen some miracle done by him.

Luk 23:9 Then he
questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

Luk 23:10 And the
chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

Luk 23:11 And
Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed
him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

Luk 23:12 And the
same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at
enmity between themselves.

Psa 95:1
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation.

Psa 95:2 Let us
come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him
with psalms.

Psa 95:3 For the
LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

Psa 95:4 In his
hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is
his also.

Psa 95:5 The sea is
his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
